2. Open the file in Photoshop.

3. Make sure you can view Layers. Go to the top bar and click on WINDOW, then select LAYERS.

4. Everything in the template file is on a layer. If you are confused about which layer to use, then click off the eye on the left side of the layer. It will help you see which layer you are working in.

5. Change your name in the STUDENT NAME layer by clicking on the TEXT tool on the left toolbar. You can change the font if you want in this layer.

6. The IMAGE SIZE of the Gallery Card Templates all have a RESOLUTION of 180.

7. Open up the images you want to add to the gallery card Photoshop. You need to change the resolution of your images to 180 to match the template's resolution. Go to IMAGE, and then select IMAGE SIZE. Change the resolution, and click okay.

8. Once you have changed your image size on your image, SELECT ALL (under EDIT), and then COPY. Go back to the gallery card template, and PASTE the image into your invitation card. To resize your image to fit onto the template, go to EDIT at the top, then select FREE TRANSFORM. To resize, click on a box at any corner and pull it where you want it. You can move it up by clicking inside the photo. Once you have it to the right size then hit RETURN to save the changes. To move the image into place, use the ARROW tool on the leftside toolbar.

9. Repeat this until you have all your images right.

HINT:


IF YOUR TEXT LAYER DISAPPEARS,

Look at the layer box on the right side. Click on the TEXT layer that has disappeared and click on it and DRAG it up above the images you have added.





10. Save your gallery card as a JPG.





You can print your photos at any of the following places:

• Target

• CVS

• Walmart

• Office Depot



Many of these sites allow you to upload the JPG file so it can be printed before you go to the store to pick them up. If you are not uploading then check each site for what format to bring the photo files.
